PATENTS

1. Using Alternate Polarization in Fixed Wireless System Deployment for Improved Capacity – U.S. Patent 6,865,392, registered with ADC. It shows a way to expand almost without limits the system capacity through frequency reuse, even with a small number of channels. The wireless operator can expand the business gradually, with low initial expense, without adding cells and without having to revisit the already installed subscribers.
